Pain of Salvation - Thorn Clown lyrics

I dream my dreams at night - my
Life's a cartoon of black and white
I'm sick of this paint on my face!
I'm always the one to make the
Show - a laughing clown
Wings black as a crow
I carry this large mind with pain
A mind in this world seems in vain

I remember all those years
Running through the freedom
What became of the child I used to be?
I remember all those tears
Melting my own face and now
It has become the one I thought was yours
Oh, look at this pitiful young soul
- is he beyond or behind, who knows
But there's no one to burn at his pace
Contemplating wave lengths in the bath while
Scorching himself to make us laugh
The beckoning mind cannot be
Insanity might set it free

I remember all those years
When I was invincible
What became of the child that used to laugh?
I remember all those fears
Bleaching this mild heart and now
It has become the gray I thought was yours

If you'd just let him in
If you would just touch him
He would love, he would grow
He could rest his old soul
Maybe he's difficult but he's beautiful
Wild at heart, troubled mind, torn apart
Seeking his kind
